Paragraph and TEXT need all of the features in ONE

[thejazzchef]

Describe the Problem

I've been using Elementor to build, and maintain, websites. I now know why this is called “Atomic” - The features are a bomb.

The new V4 text-editing interface is a considerable step backward.

Why would you introduce a text editor that lacks readily accessible controls for indentation, bulleted lists, numbering, alignment, and other basic paragraph formatting?

These aren't advanced features. That is a handicap. They’re fundamental writing tools.

Propose a Solution

The solution? Either abandon the new Paragraph element and return to the classic Text Editor widget, or add the feature functionality to Paragraph by MERGING them.

Heck! Look at THIS TEXT BOX. It has more features than Paragraph. (UGH!)

That isn't streamlining. It's removing functionality and requiring users to find workarounds for things that already worked.

Please restore a complete, easily accessible formatting toolbar to the new text editor. Users should not have to choose between your new interface and the ability to format ordinary text.

A prettier interface with fewer essential functions is not an upgrade.

I worked with Apple, in the old days. .God, spare me software engineers’ “do it our way” myopic programming. Users rule. Fail to work with the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” rule at your product’s peril.

Additional Context

Software development history is riddled with the dead bones of big companies who used engineer hegemonic development systems. There’s a reason that ALL editors, including this one, make the tools available. Whomever cooked that one up? Spend some time, watching your users frustration, and IRE grow.
